This kind of an anti-rant...well it starts off as a rant but then turns good. It's like When Bad Rants Turn Good or something. Anyway, on with it..
My archnemesii Cityrail struck again tonight....no trains to Richmond leaving from Central, I got told I'd have to get a train to Blacktown then swap. Then after waiting patiently on the right platform, they go and change the platform on us. Whatever....
Anywho, so I get to Blacktown, have a look at the timetable, and the next train to Richmond is 56 MINUTES AWAY!?!?! There's me swearing and generally carrying on like a two bob watch in their lovely detention-centre styled train station because I missed my connecting train by like 4 minutes, when the Cityrail guy tells me that my train is just pulling into the station now actually...turns out it was 4 minutes late, thus saving me nearly an hour wait!
Who woulda thought Shittyrail's incompetence would one day work in my favor? :D

Target sells pants in short, medium and long lengths. Or they used to, anyway. As a fellow short-ass, I found it most convenient.

I know I've probably said it before but:
Stickers that leave glue residue.
Seriously, wtf!
Ok... I can deal with it on my CDs that I purchase for $10, in understanding that they are saving money and passing it on to me by not using nice spanky peel off stickers.
But on furniture that I paid several hundred dollars for...
GRRRR

Man it seems like all I fucking DO these days is bitch about work, but here goes....
The list of inventive ways that my new job has fucked me over in quick succession (I've only been there since the 10th):
The list of inventive ways that my new job has fucked me over in quick succession (I've only been there since the 10th):
- PAY: I was told originally we get paid on the 15th of each month...now I'm not retarded, and I figured I wouldn't get a whole month's pay after I'd only been there like a week, but I DID think I'd get that first week's pay...but even though I was assured this would be the case, apparently they're lying cunts. Rang HR bitch to get the lowdown, she never returned my call/email. Rang reception to get payroll's number, the fucking moll refused to give it to me. So I had to basically hunt around myself to find it, to be told I'd get paid by yesterday. At the latest. Didn't happen. Then I got told I'd get paid today. Hasn't happened yet, but it's still early so I'm letting my anger build up over the rest of the day. I've also got the strangest feeling that they're not gonna pay us for the time we were in training...I dunno why, it's just a gut feeling I've got. But again, no proof of that one yet so I'll just let my anger build up over that one a bit as well.
- BREAKS: We were told that we got an hour for lunch. During training this was true. And in fact, anybody who works the day shift DOES get an hour for lunch. But we work night shift, so even though our workload is exactly the fucking same, we get 30 minutes. We were also emailed in the first week to tell us we were meant to have an additional break, just to make it fucking legal I guess. This hasn't happened either.
- THE LAST STRAW: When I went for the interview, I was told we'd be rostered on from 11pm-7am. This is the shift I've been doing since I started. I found out today that I'm actually supposed to be there till 7.30, and the only reason nobody's stopped me leaving half an hour early every other fucking day is because they assumed that I'd been coming in early to make up for it. The extra half an hour on its own isn't that big a deal, except why the fuck LIE about it until I actually have the job, and it means we work an 8.5hr day with a fucking half hour break...and that I have to hang around an EXTRA fucking half hour on top of that to wait for my train.

ARRRRR i seriously have had enough, this week has been the worst ever....
It started off by consumer affairs, demanding paper work from a job that i had signed up, and now they have me by the balls because of slight paperwork error, that didnt meet manufacturers procedures........(like who ever follows them) if only they knew that we install there product with different and BETTER glue that they recomend!!!, The bitch of a customer investigated for her own personal use about installation of products, she obviously has too much time on her hands, there wouldnt be many industries around if we all had to follow fine print!!!!,
so i have to go to court on Thursday..............
AND YESTERDAY, a lady came into the show room, looking at some karidean comercial planks, and its heavy and we both holding it, it dropped out of BOTH our hands, and it broke her toe, NOW SHES FUCK THREATEN TO SUE the company........
im just angry because how can two feck up things happen in 3 days

Getting fucked around by uni admin, telling me that i've only got 2 subjects left to do to complete my degree- so rather than waste half a year doing two subjects i decided to do them in summer semester. Half way through summer semester they tell me i have to do another subject in semester 1- had full time work lined up- that's boned. Now im boned because i no longer qualify as a full time student and therefore have no youth allowance! Fuck they all must die, horribly!

^^^ Dealing with uni admin sucks balls.
I'm dreading tute rego next week... just waiting for the inevitable stuff that happens with subjects I really want to do.
I'm dreading tute rego next week... just waiting for the inevitable stuff that happens with subjects I really want to do.
I'm so fucking sick of older people who, in trying to exert any authority, end up looking like a complete idiot. Let's set the scene:
I'm helping out at a film conference in exchange for a couple of free days attendance. Each day there is a free buffet lunch for the 200+ people who attend. Lining up and filling my plate, I get this sharp tug on my arm and get basically pulled out of the line.
Boss: What do you think you're doing, lining up for food before all the professionals have gone through?
Me: Excuse me?!?
Boss: You heard me, as a volunteer you're not meant to be here, you wait until everyone else is served and then get the leftovers and eat in a back room!
Me: Ummm, no... maybe that would be the case if I was actually working today, but seeing as I'm not, I'm a guest as is everyone else.
Boss: You're lucky I don't just take your plate away right now!
Me: (stunned silence)
Boss: Anyway, it's just bad form for that to occur.
No actually, what you just did was bad form, you old bat.
I went straight to the boss higher then her who immediately apologised profusely for her rudeness. I was amazed that that kind of thing happened when you're doing them a favour by helping out!

Note to boy:
when you are going to cook dinner, it actually needs to be done at a resonable time [especially when girlfriend is sick].
This does not mean you can meander home from work, get changed, go to the gym and come home to cook dinner whenever the fuck you feel like it.
I'm hungry

UNI
So, at the beginning of January, my uni released their final timetable for the 2006 Autumn Semester. I duly printed this off and checked out all my subjects to make sure nothing clashed and was pleased to find that for the first semester ever, they all fitted perfectly with each other and my existing work commitments. I have to do tute registrations tomorrow so I thought I'd just double check everything today. Despite the fact that we were told the January timetable was the final copy, and no further communication has been sent out by the uni, one of my subjects has been changed, so instead of it being a morning timetable, it's on in the afternoon which is when I work. It's too late to change anything because the other subjects are full (this is why I did my re-enrollment on the first day it was an option, because I've missed out before). So instead, I'll have to miss out on work which will piss my boss off no end and I need the money to pay for uni.
I know it's not a huge thing, it's just intensely frustrating because shit like this has happened every semester. I'm just waiting for classes to start before they tell me that something has been cancelled as has happened the last two semesters. So glad this is my last year...

^According to my university I am to play the lead role in the upcoming feature; "The Attack of the Timetabling Fuckups 5 - 'Night of the Constantly Chancelling Tutorial'"
It promises to be a great film, with plently of shots of me cursing the ground on which University Admin walks, and tearing my hair out because our online enrollment system has been designed just to invent new and interesting error messages instead of actually enrolling anyone in anything.
